Cover Story: Upper-flow-regime bedforms and their role in the evolution of marine and lacustrine deltas are not well understood. Wave-like undulations on delta foresets are by far the most commonly reported bedforms in deltas and it will take time before many of these features get identified as upper-flow-regime bedforms. This review aims to (1) provide a summary of our knowledge to date on deltaic bedforms emplaced by sediment gravity flows, (2) illustrate that these features are most likely transitional upper-flow-regime bedforms, and (3) use field case studies of the Mazzarrà delta in Italy and glaciolacustrine deltas in northern Germany in order to examine their role in the evolution of fine-grained and coarse-grained deltas.

Applicability of Nonlinear Wavemaker Theory

  • Mads Røge Eldrup and
  • Thomas Lykke Andersen

Generation of high-quality waves is essential when making numerical or physically model tests. When using a wavemaker theory outside the validity area, spurious waves are generated. In order to investigate the validity of different wave generation me...

  • Ghaleb Faour,
  • Hussam Ayad and
  • Jalal Jomaah

In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach which uses nadir-looking wide-band radar to detect oil spills on rough ocean surface. The proposed approach combines a single-layer scattering model with Bayesian statistics to evaluate the probabili...

Damage Characterization of Rock Slopes

  • Ermano de Almeida,
  • Marcel R. A. van Gent and
  • Bas Hofland

In order to design reliable coastal structures, for present and future scenarios, universal and precise damage assessment methods are required. This study addresses this need, and presents improved damage characterization methods for coastal structur...
